Aloha- Boo Pumpkin DIY

With Halloween just around the corner, we know whats on your mind. Crisp fall weather, last minute costume ideas (hey, you could always be an SL merbabe, just sayin!), and pumpkin spiced everything. Here in Hawaii, the rain has settled and the sun has been loving us more than ever. We’ve traded in rainy days for warm ones, and while we can’t complain, we still want to keep the fall spirit alive. That’s exactly why we spent Sunday afternoon gathered around the Haleiwa store decorating pumpkins and snacking on candy. Hawaii may trade in crispy multi colored fall leaves for palm trees, but we still know how to celebrate the season. We do some things differently here on the island, so we decided to show you just how we decorate our pumpkins for Halloween, SL style!

M O L O K A I

I had been on Oahu for two days when I got the call from San Lorenzo Bikinis that they wanted to send my best friend Amber and I to the island of Molokai to shoot. The moment I got off the phone with SL, I was so excited. I had never been to another Hawaiian island before, and Amber (who’s been to many) hadn’t been to Molokai either. It would be a new experience for both of us, and I was anxious to get there. San Lorenzo booked our tickets, and we were set to leave a few days after. Since we were only staying a couple of days, we packed really light. Here’s what we brought.

A new year, a new story by Greta Rose Evans

Today is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.

Just like a book, our lives are made up of a series of chapters and every chapter represents a year of our life. In each chapter, we experience different things, meet new people, change, and grow. And just like a book, we have no idea where the plot will take us. Sometimes that can make us feel scared, but other times knowing that fills us with hope. Be hopeful that whatever lies ahead is better than what has gone. Be hopeful that the unknown holds good things for you. Today is the perfect day to reflect on what the past year has taught you, and to decide where you want to go in this next chapter of your life. Maybe some of you want to get to know yourself more, dive deeper into your spirituality, travel the world, create room in your life for more loving souls. Maybe you want to make this next chapter about getting healthy again, or maybe you want to take more risks and overcome certain fears. No matter what your goals are for this new year, the most important thing is knowing you are the one who chooses them. You can make this new year as amazing as you want to and you can accomplish every goal you set. And while we may not be able to control every plot twist that comes along, we do have a say in how we feel about it and use it. Today I’ve chosen to let all the twists and turns inspire me rather than throw me off my game. I know that if I can have a positive outlook this year, I can make the most of every experience that comes my way. This is your story, and you’re the author of it. So decide what you want, set your intention, and watch this next amazing chapter of your life unfold. This life is your book, make sure you write a good one!

Embrace Yourself


In today’s society, it takes strong, conscious effort to not compare ourselves to other girls. With the daily overstimulation by means of social media (scrolling through other girls’ photos, analyzing their profiles, critiquing them in full from behind that little glass screen) it’s easy to get caught up in the notion of competition. But take a moment to ask yourself, what is it exactly that you’re competing for? And while numerous reasons may come to mind, the strongest underlying motive always seems to hold constant: the attention of men. Girls want to feel wanted. It becomes something to strive for.
In reality though, the competition only exists once you enter it; It is a choice that each and every one of us has the power to make. Embrace that. And once you do, I can promise that your energy will change. People who have learned to find comfort in their own skin have a way about them that’s infectious. People gravitate towards them, naturally.So, point being, be the woman that you were born to be and allow things to fall into place. And once you get there, spread that liberation to others. We’re all in this together.

There’s no place like home ♡ Happy Earth Day

“The sea, once it casts it’s spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever”
We often take the ocean for granted. We forget the affect it has on our lives, and the pull it has on our hearts. We forget that it is the tides that shift our feelings, the salty air that puts us at ease, and the sound of waves that lull us into a deeper state of peace. The ocean offers us a place to escape to. A place without worries, where time is not kept track of and materialistic things do not exist. The ocean is raw, un-retouched, and messy. We can relate to the ocean, the way it changes constantly, sometimes raging and storming, other times peaceful and calm. Take a moment today to be thankful for all the ocean gives to us, and the spell it casts.

Today is your day ♡

Every morning that we wake up, life gives us a brand new day. A new day with no mistakes, no worries, no expectations, and no promises. It’s a clean slate, a chance to start over. How beautiful it is that life is constantly giving us second chances. That no matter how bad yesterday was….today is not yesterday, today is new. Today we start over. Today we wake up with new eyes, and a new hunger for life. Embrace this day. Live it as if you had chosen it for yourself. You are an artist, today is a blank canvas. Make it a masterpiece. Happy Monday!
